Guitar Hero movie?
Permalink Closed

News via Latino Review:


Brett Ratner spoke to TV about being a Guitar Hero freak and wanting to make a movie:

'I love Guitar Hero and I think its a part of pop culture. I would love to do a Guitar Hero movie, if Activision would ever let me. Im trying to convince them, but why would you have a movie screw up such a huge franchise? Not that I would make a bad movie. So that would be cool, to do a Guitar Hero movie. '

And here is his idea for the plot:

'It could be about a kid from a small town who dreams of being a rock star and he wins the Guitar Hero competition. One of these dreams-[come-true] kind of concepts.'

Ratners been able to have significant influence on the Guitar Hero franchise through his Brett Ratner Brands consultancy. That arrangement brought about those music video cameos. He also told us that it enabled him to help name the next installment of the series.

'I have a deal with Activision for their branding,' he said. 'For instance, naming Guitar Hero: World Tour, coming up with the new Guitar Hero game name. Its sort of like [MTV's] Rock Band. So they said: Come up with a name. And I did, and it became Guitar Hero: World Tour. '


Worthy of an EPIC FAIL or not?

Looks like we may have had a lucky escape according to Filmstalker:


Brett Ratner is not being allowed to make the Guitar Hero film that he wanted to, and it's the makers of the video game that want to stop him, and in fact have.

Despite his desire to make a film out of the unfilmable, Activision would rather the game rested on its own success and doesn't need a film adaptation. So who's the sensible one?

Brett Ratner revealed the let down through Hollywood Insider, where he revealed the good news.

Previously we had heard that he wanted to make a film out of a game that lets you play along with rock bands and score points for getting the guitar chords right and on time.

Apparently, and what a surprise this is, Activision are saying no to the idea because they think it's such a success anyway, and it most certainly is, I mean Aerosmith have their own version of the game featuring their performances and likenesses - a game I was already talking about and wondering if they might receive a film of their lives.

Ratner reveals his disappointment:

'I'd really like to do it, but they're not letting me...I expressed my interest, but because it's such a success, it's like now there's no reason to make a movie about it.'

However he believes that he's going to win:

'I might prevail...I usually do.'

What's the plot though? Is it about someone who plays it a lot and gets discovered while playing it only to become famous? Oh dear me. Oh, maybe they could have something where the band have to find a replacement for their guitarist and take to the Guitar Hero online, or...oh who knows, although Ratner suggests he ight already have an idea:

'The game is wish-fulfilling, everyone can be a rock star'

That sounds like what I was just saying. Whatever it's going to be it can't be that strong a plot can it?
